INSTALLATION
Introduction
This program is for use on Windows PC's, where the programs run in a DOS window.
When we receive confirmation of your order, from either Google, PayPal, or Kagi, we will send you an acknowledgement E-Mail. It will contain a software download link and Registration Code. The current size of the "auto install" SmithMatch file is about 218 KB. To "extract" the compressed files, you need to be using a 32-bit Windowsd PC.
Before the SmithMatch program can be run, it must be installed. The installation does NOT write to your system registry, autoexec.bat, config.sys, or any other place on your PC. It is totally self-contained within a directory named c:\mwsoft\smithmat.
Note: If you already have one or more of our software products, the directory c:\mwsoft will already exist. In that event, the installation routine will create sub-directories within c:\mwsoft named c:\mwsoft\smithmat and c:\mwsoft\smithmat\mwdata1.
How to Install SmithMatch to a Windows PC
To begin the automatic installation process, double-click on the SmithMatch_INSTALL.exe file, (its a black disk shaped icon), which you have downloaded to your desktop.
The install routine will first de-compress the files, create three directories (if needed), in your c:\ root, and then transfer all files to them. The main program file, named smithmat.exe, is placed within c:\mwsoft\smithmat, while all data and support files are placed in a sub-directory just below c:\mwsoft; its path is c:\mwsoft\smithmat\mwdata1. The installer will also create an attractive desktop shortcut icon for your use.
The first time you run the program you'll be asked to enter your 17 character Registration Code. Be careful as it is a mix of upper/lower case letters and numbers, and is case sensitive. If you make an entry error, you'll be asked again to enter the code.
Also, after you complete the registration process, and before you're allowed to exit, you'll be asked to run the "SmithPlot Utility" in order to create a blank Smith Chart to use when you design match networks. It'll only take a minute or two; follow the on-screen instructions carefully.
The SmithMatch program is now ready to run!
How to Uninstall SmithMatch
In Windows, using 'My Computer,' or 'Explorer,' navigate to c:\mwsoft. Now, if this is the ONLY program of ours that you have, delete the c:\mwsoft folder. If you also have other programs, and only want to delete this program, open c:\mwsoft and delete \smithmat.
